Beriani Esfahan Iranian Restaurant

One block away from the Union metro station on the quieter Deira side of the Dubai creek, you'll find this unassuming Iranian restaurant catering to mostly locals. Grab a seat outside, pick up your free salad inside, and order from a bountiful plate of mixed grilled meats. The freshly baked bread is a much-appreciated plus. They also do an intriguing "mexican greek" shawarma.
